First Look: Backup your data with the Thecus N5500 - a good, reliable 5-bay NAS option by Daniel Long | September 25, 2009 If backing up data is your thing, then it's worth considering the Thecus N5500 for your networking needs. The sturdy 5-bay NAS incorporates dual DOM support and easy-to-use data software.		MSI's Wind NetOn AP1900 fails all-in-one PC promise with underpowered nettop by Staff writers | September 25, 2009 Neither cheap nor beautiful, MSI's Atom powered nettop is sadly second among equals.
HTC's Touch Diamond2 might just be the best smartphone since the iPhone by Jonathan Bray | September 25, 2009 Well made, lots of goodies and an improved interface make this the best touch-only phone from HTC so far.		G Data Internet Security 2010 is another average anti-virus alternative by Darien Graham-Smith | September 23, 2009 A simple package whose two detection engines ensure great malware detection, but it fails to inspire in other areas.
Sony's A330 DSLR is a small step backwards for the dependable Alpha range by David Fearon | September 23, 2009 The A330 is a competent, fully featured and easy to use DSLR, but a backward step in some respects.		Flip's Mino HD might just be the best value mini HD camcorder around by Staff writers | September 23, 2009 Small, sleek, easy to use and capable of producing excellent results, no matter where you are.
LiveScribe Pulse Smartpen 2GB is the best notebook dictation gadget we're ever seen by Zara Baxter | September 22, 2009 A digital notetaker that records sounds, meetings, interviews and the like - for later transcription. Perhaps the best dictation gadget you're likey to find on the market.		Asus Eee PC 1005HA, solid battery life and reasonable value by Staff writers | September 22, 2009 If you can't stretch to the Samsung N110, the 1005HA makes an excellent lower-cost alternative
Kyocera FS-2020D business laser printer gets A-list honours, best value for money by Staff writers | September 21, 2009 The FS-2020D puts in another excellent display for a business laser printer that swept all our printing awards and catagories. It dosn't get much better than this Kyocera printing marvel.		Sony Vegas Pro 9 is a video editor worth exploring by Ben Pitt | September 21, 2009 It's missing a couple of key features, but nevertheless, Vegas Pro is highly sophisticated and quick to use for serious video editors.
